    Mentioned it on the game day thread but for me there was a couple of obvious changes.

    Defensively;

    A much higher line and very little gaps between the back 3/back 5, looked alot more compact. Pressed the ball a lot more especially when it was played into the opposition and we tried to nick it, we were doing this really well up until our goal because of our high line.

    Once we scored it changed and we dropped deep, I think this is more down to the players and the lack of confidence. But that said we were still really right defensively with very little gaps between players - individually there was alot less 1 v 1s and they all look more protected. Thought Porteous was brilliant tonight.

    Attacking/in possession;

    Made the pitch massive, the wingbacks weee hugging the touch line and in patches we played good stuff and alot more one touch triangles. One thing I noticed and it’s part of the positional play I touched on in the first post was people making runs which freed up space for Nisbet to drop deep and get on it before laying it off to the man on the overlap.

    We also tried a big switch of play alot more and I think we will be alot more effective at it when Newell and JDH play. It was on alot tonight but we either never seen it, never executed it good enough or the touch on the receiving end was poor.

    Doig has so much space and because of aberdeens high line we really should have got him in behind alot but our players were hesitant.

    It’s a very good win and massive 3 points, especially when you consider some of our attackers were quiet.

    We need alot more quality over the pitch and players more comfortable in possession when under pressure, especially in the final third. We need players willing to take the ball and protect it or beat a man and create something, it’s Boyle or nothing at the moment going forward.

    Maloney;

    Very animated and vocal despite some thinking he wouldn’t be. I liked him telling someone, not sure who, to calm down. The players need someone composed at the side and that will end up being conveyed to the players. Used his subs well and I felt confident we were winning that as they never overly looked like scoring.

    As far as first games go it doesn’t get much harder than Aberdeen who are a bit of a bogey team for us.

    I was fortunate to be in hospitality tonight. Maloney came in briefly after the game to a tremendous reception.

    Porteous got MOTM and when interviewed said he was pleased to have new year free. When it was pointed out to him that nightclubs would be also be shut it raised a good laugh!!

    He was saying that when he scored his first thoughts were “aw naw, we’ll lose now”.

    Apparently we’ve never won a game in which he scored before!!

    He’s glad to have punted that monkey!!

    Sure he came off the bench to score against St Mirren last season where we won. Can’t think of any others though, perhaps a cup match against a lower league side.

    Interesting Maloney mentioned Tony Mowbray in his post match interview.

    If he gets close to that style he’ll be doing well.

    He simply won't get time. You cant spend 6 months/a year putting a style of play into place that may not even be any good. He has inherited a decent squad and should be hitting the ground running
    Good post Ross Jack! Lovely stuff.

    Did anyone else get the impression from the posts match interview that Shaun Maloney is going to be a bit of a taskmaster on the players? Seems to be perfectionist which might be exactly what we/the players needs.

    As a separate point, can someone at Hibs ask Porteous to stop saying “aye, listen” at the start of every sentence during interviews?

    Indeed, and I actually think that for all of us commenting on Gary Caldwell having an arrogance about him I actually think he'll need that. Shaun clearly has a love of the game, has an infectious enthusiasm for it and I think having someone beside him who's the dickhead of the team will be vital.

    If I’m going to take to Maloney he’s gonna have to stop saying “super this” and “super that” I get he was excited and looked genuinely buzzing in his post match interview last night but it really is unacceptable. It should only be used in a SJM context.

    It seems that way.

    As has been said, he’s been working with some of the best players in the world these past few years, he probably wants to see the same level of application and commitment from our players.

    That's why I'm really happy with this appointment... time will tell of course!

    It isa bit annoying but it’s just a sign of where the English language is going these days. His ‘aye listen’ is a bit like folk starting every sentence with ‘so’.

    Haha I noticed that too. In fairness, it's slightly more tolerable than Nisbet starting every response with "defiNETly"

    I’ve noticed sportsmen (especially Australians) like to start all sentences with ‘Look,…’ these days. It just sounds like you’re wanting a fight.

    Just watched the Dundee United game and the Maloney way of playing is so much more energetic and focused than previously. I think we have a real potential gem in Maloney and the players look rejuvenated

    Difference is clear to see, with and without the ball.

    Great start, this break is good for him.

    Agreed. Early days still, but I get the impression that the players won't be allowed to slacken the tempo during games now. I got the feeling they were a bit too comfortable under the previous regime and only turned it on when they could be bothered.

    With a couple of decent additions, it could be an exciting 2nd half to the season.

    Great to see people behind the new boss but as far as I can see- apart from a personnel changes, the past 2 games haven't shown anything noticeable different and I wouldn't really expect that after one week with the squad. 2 great results but one not great at all performance (Aberdeen) and one half decent today. Maybe I don't have the trained eye others have, or maybe folk seeing what they want to?

    Wow. The number of completed passes? The possession rate? Movement throughout the field to support each other? The confidence to constantly build from the back? The determination to regain possession? The change of tactics to close out the Aberdeen game?

    Yes. Not setting myself up as a connoisseur of the game but that was superior in most ways to what we’ve seen recently in terms of a game plan. When it worked with JR it did (Huns at Hampden was last one) but when it didn’t we looked ordinary. We are now developing a way of playing that at least gives the promise of both entertainment and results.
